Full disclosure - there are 2 hotel/casinos within a few miles of each other in this area. If you're looking for the "Vegas-style" hotel, this is not the one for you. The Vernon Downs hotel is more value based. And what a value it is! The rooms are spacious and clean, the staff has always been friendly and welcoming, and... more

Stayed one night - October 18-19 - with family. Rooms were large and fairly clean - casino ok - pool and hot tub nice - breakfast enough to get you up and going. After returning home I realized my brand new Columbia white winter jacket was missing - after searching I found my coat had been left behind - my... more

My husband and I stayed at the Hotel at Vernon Downs over Labor Day weekend. We were greeting at the front desk by Patty who was very friendly and happy. She upgraded us to a room with a veiw of the race track on the 6th floor at no charge and provided us with all the information we needed for... more

The rooms are ok for the price. The issues are the staff. The THUGS from the casino come into the hotel to smoke near the pool and throw dirty looks around at the guests I wanted to pop a couple of them in the head and say 'what the hell you looking at?' customer service just doesnt ring through at... more

We stayed for two nights for Hamilton College commencement and had a most enjoyable stay! The staff was very pleasant, the rooms were very clean, the buffet food was fine. Best part was our room overlooking the harness racing track - we enjoyed watching the races at night and the practices during the day (some drivers were even texting -... more

This is Definately not a place we (my husband and I) will be coming again!! We came for a night in a Jacuzzi Suite. They used to have unbeatable prices in the area on them, and that changed when they got new owners. They skyrocketted the ludicrous prices. This is DEFINATELY not the quality of the Turingstone Casino's Jacuzzi Suites.... more

Horrible, and the rudest staff and service from the time we walked into the lobby until we left. Dirty room - from the mold in the tub to the smell of smoking in room. Paltry continental breakfast, nothing to choose from. Will never stay here again! more

After driving 12 hours from NC to come to NY to visit family, we were greeted with the rudest staff I have ever had to deal with. First, we were told our rates (the horsemans' rate) would not hold because we did not have the horsemans' card. In the last few years my mother in law has made our reservations... more

First for the good: booking was easy, and for MOST of our stay, the price couldn't be beat (avoid Saturday nights - they're a killer on the wallet). Some of the staff are also very nice. For the bad: we arrived at our hotel room and opened the door to a giant, empty cavern. The rooms are sized as if... more
